What states offer full CLE reciprocity?

Attorneys in New Mexico submit a Certificate of Compliance attached to their annual State Bar membership renewal, listing all CLE activities and attaching certificates for non-Bar-sponsored events. Providers or the Bar often report attendance directly, but the formal reporting is via that compliance certificate.

Key Details:

• The compliance year runs January 1 through December 31.
• Each member must report CLE activities when renewing bar membership by submitting a Certificate of Compliance that includes Division-sponsored and non-Division courses.
• Non-Division-sponsored CLE requires attaching certificates of attendance to the compliance form; Division-sponsored courses require only listing (attendance records are kept by the Bar).
• Providers accredited in New Mexico report credits to the Bar (e.g. TRTCLE reports directly).
• Reporting deadline: the Certificate of Compliance must be submitted with the membership renewal (by March 1) covering the prior calendar year.

Key Takeaway: In New Mexico, CLE reporting is done via a Certificate of Compliance submitted during your bar renewal—with attachments for non-Bar sponsored courses—and providers also submit attendance to the Bar.

Wyoming attorneys must self-report CLE credits via their Member Portal or by submitting an Application for CLE Credit; sponsors do not report attendance on an attorney’s behalf. Reporting is annual—credits must be earned by December 31 and submitted by January 15 each year.

Key Details:

• Active attorneys must earn 15 CLE hours per calendar year, including 2 hours of ethics.
• A maximum of 6 of the 15 hours may come from self-study (audio/video/online) unless rules change.
• Excess live credits (including ethics) may be carried forward for up to two years.
• On November 15 of each year, the Bar notifies attorneys of their current credited hours so they can correct or submit missing credits.
• To report, attorneys go to the Wyoming State Bar’s “Submit CLE Credit” function in their member account, or use the printable Application for CLE Credit on the CLE website.

Key Takeaway: In Wyoming, CLE reporting is self-driven—attorneys submit credit claims (not sponsors), must do so by January 15 for past year compliance, and track ethics, carryover, and self-study limits accordingly.

No — you generally cannot share a CLE subscription with a colleague unless the provider’s terms explicitly permit it.

CLE providers and bar regulators almost always require that each user/licensee have a distinct, individual account so attendance verification, certificates, and credit tracking remain accurate.

Details:
– CLE providers typically verify attendance through unique user logins, activity tracking, and certificates tied to a specific attorney (with name and bar number).
– Sharing access (for example, passing your login credentials or allowing another person to use your account) would violate provider rules and could jeopardize credit validity.
– Even if a subscription is marketed as “firm-wide” or “multi-seat,” that does not mean you can treat a single personal subscription as shareable — the distinction is whether the package explicitly supports multiple authorized users.
– Bar or MCLE regulators may reject credit claims if attendance verification is questionable or noncompliant.

Key Takeaway: Unless a CLE subscription is explicitly licensed for multiple users (e.g. firm or seat-based licensing), you must use your own individual access to ensure credits are properly tracked and honored.

The list of approved CLE providers is maintained by each state’s MCLE authority; use your jurisdiction’s official provider directory or portal listed below.

Each entry names the exact state-run page or portal to locate accredited/approved CLE providers (or notes if no mandatory CLE exists). Accredited providers, including Sprout Education, deliver programs that appear in these state systems when approved.

State-by-State Official Provider Directories (or Status)

Key Takeaway: Use your state’s official MCLE portal or directory above to verify an approved provider before taking a course; when listed there, the provider’s courses can be reported toward compliance.

No — Connecticut does not impose a separate CLE requirement specifically for judges; judges adhere to the same MCLE obligations as other attorneys.

Connecticut’s MCLE rule (Practice Book § 2-27A) mandates that every attorney admitted in the state must complete 12 CLE credits per year (with at least 2 in ethics).

There is no separate parallel regime for judicial continuing education under Connecticut court rules or statutes.

Key Takeaway: Judges in Connecticut are treated like any attorney for CLE purposes and have no distinct judicial CLE requirement.

In Tennessee, CLE credits begin being recorded as soon as providers submit attendance (within 30 days of the course). However, you cannot formally certify your CLE compliance until after the calendar year ends (December 31) — the reporting deadline is March 31 of the following year.

Key Details

• Attorneys must complete 15 CLE credit hours each year, including 3 hours of Ethics/Professionalism.
• Providers are required to report attendance and credits to the Commission within 30 days after the event.
• Compliance is assessed after the year closes: hours must be earned by December 31.
• The Annual Report Statement (for reporting) is issued in March, and attorneys must submit any missing or corrected hours by March 31.
• The Commission does not begin to assess compliance until the 30-day provider reporting window has passed after December 31.

Key Takeaway
You can start having CLE credits entered into your record right after completing courses (via provider reporting), but your formal CLE compliance reporting can only occur after December 31, with a March 31 deadline for submission.
